Rahul K.
Coulomb's law is formulated for point-like charged objects. Imagine that you have two point-like charged objects $q_{1}$ and $q_{2}$ of unspecified sign separated by a distance $d$ and you also have two large spheres of radius $R$ with the same charges $q_{1}$ and $q_{2}$ The distance between the centers of the spheres is $d$. Compare the electric force that the point-like objects exert on each other to the force that the two spheres exert on each other. Consider all possibilities.
